Directory event monitoring daemon

GNU Direvent monitors events in the file system directories. For
each event that occurs in a set of pre-configured directories, the
program calls an external program associated with it, supplying it
with the information about the event and the location within the file
system where it occured.

GNU Direvent was dubbed GNU project
on August 20, 2014. Until then it was named dircond.

Direvent provides an easy way to configure your system to react
immediately if certain files undergo changes. This may be helpful,
for example, to track changes in the important configuration files.

Interfaces for tracking changes to file systems are highly
system-specific. Direvent aims to provide a uniform
and system-independent command-level interface. It is known
to work with all modern Linux kernels and BSD systems (FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin).
